Forevermore
Sailing the ocean in your eyesOn a blue and balmy breezeStriking out for an eternityOn your seven seas And in the shade of your hairI can’t help but stareDeep within the secretsYou so gladly share And I can feel my soul slipping awaySearching for the simple wayTo delay setting ashoreForevermore Written in 1972
Simply Sarah
She is a dreamera sweet unfolding flowerUnassuming, sometimes amusingWhat’s the secret to her power over me She’s just a slight and slender reedFlowing gracefully in the tall grassHer long dress billows in the summer breezeMaking her appear as if in flight She stands on higher ground than IGently lifting me to dareDoing all she can…
Melancholy Lady
This waiting is driving me crazyThe tears I’m tasting are just wasting me awayAnd though I know it’s in your eyesI can’t help wondering why I’m bound to lose, bound to lose with you You’re a melancholy ladyNo use trying to disguise itI can see it’s in your eyesIt’s in your eyes And though I…
You Walked Beside Me
Every day I take my sorry soulFilled with silly hope down to the wishing wellEach coin I toss is just a dream of mineThat I’ll hold your hand one more time All through the years, the ups and downsYou’ve held my hand – you walked beside meThrough all the laughter and the tearsYou’ve held my…

Miracle To Me
He’s my angel, a miracle to meSees all the possibilities, recognizes no boundariesAnd his smile lights up my universeBrighter than all the stars in the sky And when he holds your handSurrender yourself, he’s in commandAnd when he holds you in his heartHeaven is just a breath away He’s a reflection of all that’s goodMom’s…
Sliver Of Blue
Just when I think there’s no chance at allJust when I think it’s the final fallThrough the gray and cloudy skiesThere comes a sliver of blue, shining through, that’s you Paths I’ve chosen seem unimportant these daysStruggling through the morass of disappointing waysThat I’ve chosen to travelMysteries I’ve forgotten to unravel Too busy these days…
Poem For Her
You never cease to weave your webs of wonderBreaking down my walls with thunderWith your soft and winsome laughterAnd your eyes that long for loving With hands so soft, yet sure and strongYou guide along children of oursSharing songs and stories, you’re in your gloryThe years, they passed so fast, it’s a crime To dream…
